Movie: Probably, this is the last piece of the puzzle titled 'The Avenger'

I had went to the Cinema to watch the 'Captain America: The first Avenger' movie. This is probably the last movie of the year 2011 with a storyline based on one of the super heroes of 'Marvel' comics. As usual, please sit through all the credits of the movie to watch the extra footages and you might be getting something more as compared to the other movies based on 'Marvel' heroes. (For example: Thor, Ironman, The Incredible Hulk).

Movie: Up next what happens when you combine 'Aliens' and the 'Wild West' together?

Note: I hope they will produce more Comedy movies with 'Tommy Lee Jones'. I think he have a talent for Comedy movies. Especially when he always have the serious look on his face.

If I can regenerate like "Wolverine" of the 'X-men' or "Sylar" of 'Heroes'...

If one could regenerate at a rapid speed like "Wolverine" of the 'X-men'* comic books or "Sylar" of the TV series 'Heroes'^, what would be the most meaningful thing that you could do?


If I were given such a gift, the first thing that I would be doing would be...


making regular visits to the Bloodbank to donate my blood away.


Here's the mascot of Bloodbank@HSA and isn't it cute... :P


Oh gosh, look at the crowd here. Although I don't like crowded places,
but isn't it nice to see such a big crowd of people here at the BloodBank
willing to give their blood for the greater good. :)


This is the last counter before I step into the room and donate my blood.
Luckily, I have made an appointment online**, hence I was placed in a priority queue.
I have tried walking-in to the Bloodbank@HSA before and the waiting time can be as bad as 30 minutes. Hence, I have decided to make an appointment this time round and the results were satisfying.

Though I am not a frequent visitor here, but based on my own experiences, I find that the pain that you are getting from a normal insect bite were not as painful as the pain that you are getting throughout the process of donating your blood. It's probably the sight of the needles that might be giving you a greater sense of fear.
(Yesterday, I just found out that an individual will donate 450ml of blood per visit.)

After donating your blood away, here comes the nicest part, which is...
Lunch provided for free after each donation that an individual have made. You get to choose a main dish, a drink and a dessert. I didn't take a photo of the dessert because it's Green Bean soup and I would prefer eating Red Bean Soup on top of Green Bean Soup.

Well, in conclusion, isn't it nice to do a good deed by donating your blood away and treat yourself to a free meal. ;P
(As for myself, as I am a very clumsy person, I would get myself cut very easily and rather than wasting all those blood away, I would rather donating them away.)

Movie: Harry is actually bigger than 20 years old... :P

I had finally finish watching Harry Potter. This is probably the longest series of movies that I had ever gone through. There's 8 separate movies and each of them lasted for 2 hours or more. Luckily I didn't went for the movie marathon that last for longer than 24 hours, which is complete craziness... But since I had read all the Harry Potter books, I think that I should also watch the movies as both media were completely different. Despite of the fact that the actor acting the role of Harry Potter was older than 20 years old. :P

The supermarket / shopping mall that never sleeps - Mustafa

In the past, I had been hanging out at Mustafa Centre at least once a week. There were a few different reasons behind the regular visits. Firstly, as Mustafa was located in Little India, the choice of dinner would be Indian food, which was one of my favourite kind of food. Secondly, Mustafa were opened 24/7, in order words, no more closing time limitation and you can browse around and do your shopping slowly. Thirdly, the number of brands that you can find for each product is crazily huge. For example, for hair shampoos, you can get more than 5 shelves of shampoo, 5 shelves of body shampoo, etc... and the list goes on. Last, and not least, the price of the same product that you can find in Mustafa Centre were much much more cheaper than those that you can purchase outside.

Here's one of the unique goods that you can find in Mustafa.

Movie: Transformers: Robots in Disgust.....?

Finally finished watching the move 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon'... I hope that this movie will be the last of this sequel as the story is getting a bit =.=""". In fact, ever since the 1st Transformers movie, I already had a bad impression based on the looks of the robots and probably this was due to the fact that I might be looking forward to a movie which is much much closer to the original animated series back in the 80s. But hey, I wouldn't blame the director of the Transformer movie, as I know how difficult it is to be dealing with a series of special effects and artificial models. Similarly, Michael Bay had written on his website that he had intended to release the 3rd sequel of the movie in 2012 not 2011.* Hence probably if he was given another year or two, the production crew might be able to produce a better movie and a better story??
